I understood their comment as going from $100 / hour * 100 hours to $100 / hour * 500 hours not to $500 / hour * 100 hours

I appreciate this example. This does seem like a pretty difficult feature to build de novo. Did you already have some machine vision work integrated into your app? How are you hand…

IMO, Haskell is less helpful for an LLM because of its advanced language features. The LLM is reasoning about the language textually. Since Haskell is very tense, the LLM would nee…

Have you heard of the War of the Currents? > As the use of AC spread rapidly with other companies deploying their own systems, the Edison Electric Light Company claimed in early 18…

Fair enough!

Maybe? But it destabilized the Middle East, caused the migrant crisis in Europe, the migrant crisis caused a rise in right wing movements in Europe, it caused the rise of ISIS (lot…

I agree with GP. I would amend their claim with "most problems* could be solved by building high density housing and services in areas with jobs." I.e., build real cities. Building…

Yeah, I think we should keep that aspect of prop 13. That is what it was originally billed as. It just doesn't make sense that golf courses pay taxes that are more aligned with the…

You would need to overturn the proposition directly. The state Congress can't overturn it so you would need another proposition. That's a "simple" majority vote, but it's the third…

I would not describe LA to SF as a consistent experience. I had an 8:30 PM flight delayed until 1:30 AM. Actually, the only consistency I've had with those flights is that they are…

I live in America. I have all my life. I've ridden on nice trains in Europe and Japan. The culture in the last 80-100 years has revolved around cars, but before that relied heavily…

California can't raise property taxes unless Prop 13 is repealed and that's a very high bar to pass.

Porque no los dos?

Last time I checked (2020) there were already a few rejected proposals to shorten the syntax for this. It seemed like they were pretty exasperated by them at the time.

Isn't it being a method call not quite equivalent? Are you able to define the method over arbitrary data types? In Elixir, it is just a macro so it applies to all functions. I'm on…

> I know HN has a bit of a click-bait love relationship with Erlang/Elixir but it hasn't translated over to adoption and there are companies that are just burning money trying to d…

I wonder how much the workforce plays into it. If you have a bunch of people who work at companies that are trying to maximize eyeballs then they shuffle around to different compan…

Did you ever see Crystal? It's more or less a typed Ruby. I've heard that you can port some code directly. https://crystal-lang.org/

I think there are a couple of bugs in the pseudo-code: traverse_node(page, version, key): retry: # Read the page pageCopy = copy(page) # BUG1: version is an argument so it likely w…

Then after that, they passed Hawley Smoot Tariff Act to make up for the budget short fall. That caused an already bad situation to get much, much worse.

Given how companies operate internationally, is it fair to compare the stock market valuation against GDP? If Apple moved to a New Zealand based stock exchange, would that mean tha…

No doubt his administration will cast a long shadow. I was only responding to the allusion that he could become a long term dictator.

TBH, I am one of those people that's a little too young to remember Yeltsin. I know him generally, but wasn't aware of the direct through line to Putin. Overall, that's a pretty so…

Trump is pretty old at this point. Even if he decided to go full dictator, how long does he have? Maybe 5 to 10 years? I don't think it would be quite as "stable" as Putin's Russia…

> But it's weird to me to see these articles that are so excited about being able to install Python easily when that's been doable with conda for ages. (And conda has additional fe…
